I hope it doesn't pour tomorrow....if it does I will not be heading to the market.......

The Market

Well, it was another successful market day...thank you SO much to all of you who made it downtown. I wasn't very happy with the way I was displaying the clothes so my mom & I went to the store & found this neat "portable closet". It worked great. We just didn't put the wheels on it. The skirts & tunics looked so nice hanging up there and a lot more people seemed to notice them.

The display is still kind of utilitarian - not "pretty" like some peoples.....Andrea.....now I just need to figure out something for my cuff bracelets - I have an idea in my head....Ijust need to find the perfect thing. (and no, that is not me smiling back there it is - http://mindandbodyproducts.com

My week off is over as of tomorrow. I am sad to say I didn't get my to-do list finished. Maybe next time I won't have such a long list! Seems like a good solution to that problem.

Today we want to get to the beach and plan on grilling out later. Oh and a little cleaning of course. We will have our EAA guests here in 2 short weeks too! Where does the time go?

~laundry day~

Well it was laundry day here - but it was an odd load on the clothes line today! I was given a large box of ties from Michellehttp://daintydaisies.blogspot.com/ it was an AWESOME assortment of ties - few solids & there were ones with birds, butterflies, flags, totally retro/vintage & everything in between!

I will be making LOTS of goodies from these - thanks!

Also - the market was a huge success - thank you to all who came down - I will also be there tomorrow morning - College Ave, Appleton, right outside Starbucks - hope to see you there!

A little something new...

I have wanted to make these for a while now....I have had the discs, made a few here & there for Dainty Daisies & the markets & here is one I custom made on Etsy and I fell in LOVE with it!.....I have made more for Michelle's shop & am taking some to the market tomorrow - which will be my last day there until next summer! The Appleton market will run from 9-1. I will have some ornaments & new magnets and girly onesies too.....stop by & check it out.....

It is absolutely frigid here today! I just finished loading up my car & am going to take a scalding shower to try & heat up.

I stopped by the thrift store today on my way home & scored a few shirts for my mom, a boat-load of zippers for her & a little bag of mini deer for Michelle.

The Show

So I was at the Holiday MarketPlace today. While I was very prepared & had a cute little spot (the pictures don't do it justice....at all) I'd have to say sales were down a bit from last year. But with the Craftacular just a few days away I was okay with it - I will have less to do to get ready for it :) I came home with more ching than I went with so I can't complain.

I was really happy with the display. I had a pretty sheer-white festive cloth over my usual pink table cloth, I also have cute holiday signs. I used my usual headband rack to hold scarves and I had all sorts of pretty new ribbon chains for the pendants and I had bracelets perched in the branches of a pretty pink tree & surrounding it like a tree skirt.

I will have to make onesies this week. And another display for them. With having girl & boy shirts one display doesn't seem like enough...

Well I need to get off the computer now have a good night

Holiday MarketPlace

I have a show this Saturday....

It is the Holiday MarketPlace Art & Craft Show located at the Washington County Fair Park
3000 Hwy PV in West Bend.

It is a great show. I was at it last year & it has well over 100 vendors (I believe 150). They have a great variety of holiday decor & gifts. The show runs from 9-4.

I will have my boy onesies, cute new girlie onesies, new scarfs, headbands & my hand stamped jewelry. I also have a cute wispy pink Christmas tree I will be using in my holiday display (I borrowed it from my mom!)

Hope to see you there

~Holding my Breath~

I am crossing my fingers for NO RAIN this Saturday morning. We still have the lovely Downtown Appleton Market going on (last weekend is Halloween).

It is really hard for me to go if it is raining. All my things could get wet & all of my tags could get wrecked.

The cold isn't fun, but I can layer my sweaters!

So there is a 40% chance of rain for Saturday - wish me luck!

I Came, I Saw.....

I went home!

It was pouring rain this Saturday for the market. I got up, drove to the market and decided not to attempt it. It was just pouring & SOOO windy. Instead I went to breakfast with my mom and then headed to Jo-Ann's. I had a lovely morning.

I will be there this coming Saturday though. Forecast is high of 83 & sunny.......

See you then!

Where does the time go?

It is almost time for the summer market to begin.....Just a few short weeks until we get lovely fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and other local dairy goods and wonderful arts & crafts. The Appleton Market is just a wonderful place.

It is on College Ave in Appleton Saturdays from 8-12:30
Starting Saturday June 20th

I will be right outside of Starbucks (by Oneida)

Hope to see you there!
